A communication tablet with eye tracking for Naomi: help Naomi move freely
Naomi needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system will not fund; the cost is $5,600.

Naomi lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the London Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,600.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Naomi could attend work interviews. It would change everyday life for the whole family.
We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $5,600 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $145
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $5,250
• First-year servicing plan: $205
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Naomi!
Sure. The biggest one is delivery and set-up, $145. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 32 people at work
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. After 22 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Rooting for you, Willow. Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Faisalabad so I could bring a meal. Love from Guarulhos
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
take care, Willow. Get well soon. Love from Gliwice
sending love, Willow. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Howrah.
Good luck, Willow. Wishing Naomi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Monterrey so I could bring a meal. God bless
Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Dallas so I could bring a meal. Love from Hanoi.
